Which term means to cause light or force to pass through a medium?

• A. Transit
• B. Transmit
• C. Universe
• D. Yearly (annually)

Answer: (B)

Transmitting means to cause light or energy to pass through a medium. When light travels through glass, for instance, part of the light is transmitted—the energy makes its way through the material rather than being reflected away or absorbed. The word captures the idea of sending or conveying something through a boundary or substance. Transit refers to movement from one place to another and isn’t specific to energy passing through materials. Universe means everything that exists, and yearly means once per year, both unrelated to the act of letting light through.
